Today's market challenges call for managers who are both tough minded and open minded, creative yet disciplined in devising strategies to retain and gain audiences and position their companies for continued success.

The Maynard Institute Digital Leadership program will give participants a deeper understanding of the dynamic media landscape, trends in consumer's consumption of news, information and entertainment, and the tools to create successful new media models as the digital landscape grows.

The program is intended for managers who participate in innovation of new business models, the development of new products or the redesign of existing products. Participants can range from front line managers to ultimate decision makers across a media organization.
